|
I recently bought this car from my good friend Mike Koch, he had his own blog about the car, so I am going to continue it as I finish the car!
The car has a m20 with megasquirt ll setup, I am in the process of finishing the alpina style pedal box, but just finished building the exhaust and modified the cross member so the exhaust goes thru it!
Once I get the pedal box finished I can finish plumbing the hydrolics and finally move the car under its own power.
I will try to keep up to date on what is going on, I have been out of the 2002 scene for about a year but happy to have another one.

Here is a link to my photobucket

I just completed building the alpina style pedal box, it has the clutch and brake master mounted directly to it and highly reinforced pedals!
I finally finished the brake system and it seems to work very well, but I have not put it threw the paces yet, I also got my new deep dish 15x8" 0-offset wheels, installed the front air dam and modified a early rear bumper to fit and narrowed it to tuck up tightly to the body.
I'm still waiting for the turbo flares to arrive, but I will have them very soon and then start tuning and testing the car! _________________ '75 e12 Custom

Yeah, he did nice work on the car, I just need to finish odds and ends, and the body and paint work!
I can build more of those cross members if there was any interest!

Hey Brent -
Excellent work on the exhaust, I'm getting close to that on my M20 project. Mike and I had been talking off the board occasionally, good to see that you'll be keeping us posted on the project and that Mike will get to see his former car when finished since it's still local.
I'd love to come by and take a look sometime. I'm just over in the West Linn area and could sure stand to see a M20 project that's almost complete.

The tunnel had to be widened by 2-3", which made a lot more work, because all of the pedals had to be modified! _________________ '75 e12 Custom

The car now has a very good base tune on the MS and drives great, it is very snappy and quike, and the throttle response is incredible.
This is one of the most fun cars I have driven in a while! _________________ '75 e12 Custom

Thanks, if no one buys it soon, I will strip it down and start preping it for paint! _________________ '75 e12 Custom

Satin black! Maybe?!

And I just moved from Eugene to Albany, but I come up to portland fairly often. I really want to see a m20 car, as I am thinking about doing the swap. I also like that your car has megasquirt! |
Hit me up next time you are in town!

Well, I have now started to do the body work, I filled in all of the lower trim holes and the side marker holes and started to smooth out all of the minor little dings on the body, I plan to have the car in primer with in the next week of two.
I also plan on painting the car soon!
I will post current pics soon.
